This policy explains how we use the information we collect, and under what circumstances we may disclose it to others. It will also give you information about how to manage the Personal Information that you provide to us through these means. This policy applies only to information you provide to us online while visiting or using our Website and to information you provide via the RESIDENT KIOSK. This policy applies to all Personal Information we have obtained or may obtain offline through other traditional means.

Personal Information Definition

For purposes of this Policy, “Personal Information” means any information by which you can be personally identified, and includes your name and address, age or date of birth, your e-mail address, number of children, your occupation, employment information, telephone number, education, the kind of service provided to you, your social security number, real property purchased, leased, or rented, bank account number, credit or debit card number, bank or investment account, debit card, or credit card balance, payment history, and information pertaining to your creditworthiness, assets, income or liabilities.

What Personal Information Does IMT Collect?

When you visit and interact with the Website and/or use the RESIDENT KIOSK, we may collect information about you in any of the following ways:
• You may voluntarily and actively submit information when you register for an account, submit a leasing application, submit a maintenance or service request, pay your rent, or use our Contact Us web form to send us a message
• Some non-personally identifying information is automatically collected through the use of cookies and similar technologies when you visit the Website and access the various resources available on the Website

If you have used both the Website and the RESIDENT KIOSK, the Personal Information we collect is combined in our database so that we may maintain complete and accurate records about our interactions with you.

Information You Actively Submit

The Website and RESIDENT KIOSK provide general information about the various properties managed by IMT and contain various features and services that may be utilized by existing and prospective residents at our properties. You can browse, read or download the general information about IMT and its properties without providing us any Personal Information, other than information automatically collected from your device (see the section below titled “Automatically Collected Information”).

In order to use certain features of the Website or RESIDENT KIOSK, it is necessary for you to register and create an account (“User Account”). When you register for an account, you will be required to identify the property at which you reside and enter your name, e-mail address and your Birth Date (“User Account Information”). You will also be required to create an account password. If you submit a lease application or a maintenance or service request, we collect Personal Information that we will need in order to process your application or request.

Automatically Collected Information

When you visit our Website to browse, read, or download information, IMT’s web server automatically collects information from your web browser such as the:
• Internet domain through which you access the Internet (e.g., yourServiceProvider.com if you use a commercial Internet service provider);
• Internet Protocol address of the computer you are using;
• type of browser software and operating system you are using;
• demographic information concerning the country of origin of your computer and the language(s) used by it;
• date and time you access our site;
• the Internet address of the site from which you linked directly to our site and, if applicable, the search engine that referred you and any search strings or phrases that you entered into the search engine to find this site; and
• the average time you spend on the Website, the pages you viewed and information you searched for and other relevant statistics about your use of the Website.

While this information does not generally identify you personally, and we do not combine this information with any Personal Information that you may voluntarily and actively submit to us, certain jurisdictions may consider IP address and other device information to be “personal information”. We will not use this information to identify you individually, unless we must do so to investigate and/or remedy an issue of Website security, or if we are required to do so for law enforcement purposes.

Instead, we will use this information in the aggregate (combined with similar information collected from our other Website visitors) to help us analyze, maintain, and improve the Website, e.g., to determine the number of visitors to different sections of our site, to ensure the site is working properly, to help us make our site more accessible and useful, and to understand trends and patterns regarding the use of our Website.

Your California Privacy Rights

California “Shine the Light” Law

To exercise your rights, you may make one request each year by contacting us using the “Contact Us” section below with a “Request for California Privacy Information” on the subject line or in the body of your message. Be sure to provide in the request sufficient information to properly identify you and/or the members of your family.

California Consumer Privacy Act

Right to opt-out of sale
IMT does not make your personal information available for purchase or otherwise share your information in exchange for money. IMT may share your personal information (including your Identifiers, Internet or Other Electronic Network Activity, Professional and Employment Related Information, and Education Information) with vendors who provide services to us, such as background checks and verifications, talent management or online advertising and marketing. This sharing may be considered a “sale” under the CCPA’s broad definition of the word “sale.”

You can opt out of our sharing of your personal information by:
• clicking here
• calling our toll-free number 1-800-925-0212

Right to know
The CCPA law permits our users who are California residents to access and obtain in a portable format from us, up to twice a year and free of charge, information about the categories or specific pieces of personal information we collected, used, sold and disclosed to third parties in the immediately preceding twelve (12) month period.

Right to delete

• If you are requesting specific pieces of personal information collected about you, then you may be asked to include a signed declaration under penalty of perjury that the requestor is the consumer whose personal information is the subject of the request. We will maintain all signed declarations as part of our record-keeping obligations.
